Planetarion Forums - Important question regarding the R10 forums

Woof · 12 Jul 2003, 08:33

Do you have any plans for a r10 RP forum?
The opertunity to rid us of the RP forums once and for all, when we move to the new board, should not be overlooked.

You'll never have a better chance to strip out the dead wood, think of all the bandwidth you'll save alone!!111234

The boards are moving?

they said you prolly would

everyone else is fine tho, but JJ said "that mbushell's a bit of a twat, let's 'accidently' delete his account when we move"

mbushell · 12 Jul 2003, 11:03

don't make me angry, you won't like me when i'm angry (is that how it goes, i've not read or seen it).

i think so

might have been "you're making me angry, you wouldn't like me when i'm angry"

Karmulian said hes working on a way to transfer the nicks over iirc.

Non players will get to post, but we wont have certain privelages. So say goodbye to your avatrs, your custom title - and if the PA team decide to be nazis, your signature, your location - we might have to wait longer between each post, etc etc etc.

Woof · 12 Jul 2003, 13:58

From what i read, you can stilll have a forum account without having a game accountoo.
People who have a game account will have acess to more forum features, than those without a game account.

Probably something like.....better avatars, custom tiltes and the ability to use the :******: smilie.

that wouldn't work

we'd lose any community aspect we have left and just be assimilated into theirs

12 Jul 2003, 20:30

The forums will be wiped, all current details, threads etc will be gone

"Karmulian said hes working on a way to transfer the nicks over iirc."IF we do this, literally only the nicks will be transferable, nothing else (Eg post counts)

everyone will be allowed a forum account
however those who play the game will have different priveleges
(no not pety things like avatars)
more likely they will have access to new forums

as for RP
it will be staying.. at least as far as i am concerned

you may argue that it is not game related, well neither is GD - but you don't see us getting rid of it
RP jas its own community much as GD does, except with the exception that RP don't trash all the other forums, or spam their own forum pointlessly

anyways before i start an arguement with myself.. RP will be staying.

Deffeh · 13 Jul 2003, 01:23

i dont think anyone seriously expected it to be removed, dude.

You overestimated Karm's sense of humor...you can expect him to fix something or pull off some things really nicely. However, expecting him to be a> funny and b> have people skills is a bit much

JonnyBGood · 13 Jul 2003, 14:27

PS We're firing all the mods and hiring new ones. First in line gets the choice between GD, RP and AD*.

*Now there's a tough one heh.

MrL_JaKiri · 13 Jul 2003, 14:33

I want RP

JC, you've got either AD or GD (said the rapist to his cellmate heh).

Woof · 13 Jul 2003, 15:46

I'll take GD.

JC · 13 Jul 2003, 16:48

Damn i guess that leaves me with AD

Kurashima · 13 Jul 2003, 17:55

I think my shoulders are broad enough to take it , hence ill moderate a forum containing all the troublemakers , spammers , l33t h4xx0r5 and script kiddies.

We can call it GS .... no prizes for working out what that means.

Starbucks · 13 Jul 2003, 19:13

I just thought i would mention, im a harsher moderator than most here

not to undermine or question your ace plan, but why would having access to a new forum be of any benefit??? what exactly can they discuss on that, that cant be discussed here?? is this going to be another debating forum comedy debacle?

In-game stuff that non-players dont need nor want to read?

isnt this already covered in PD??? what im trying to say is what benefit will there actually be in only allowing people who pay to use those forums?

You mean I won't be able to laugh at the AD posters anymore?

Ragnarak · 13 Jul 2003, 23:16

basically it'll mean we're all banned from PD/AD?

oh noes

Woof · 14 Jul 2003, 08:35

Unless you have a community the size of SA, too many forums means you get crap content as you disperse the posters.

There is nothing worse than seeing a forum, with loads of different boards, each with about 10 posts.

JC · 14 Jul 2003, 11:09

Before everyone goes off and complains i had better point out i was only guessing at what these special forums for payed users would be but it would make sense to have only PA-players viewing AD/PD/AR etc seeing as its not relevant to a non-playing GD or RP poster.
